Hi all,

I've been fooling around with a HTML5 app recently, and I decided to 
see if an <input type="file"> would work.  I got it working on the 
desktop and then tried it on the browser on the phone.  I was 
pleasantly surprised to see that it Just Works: activating the input 
caused a Content Hub peer picker to show up.  I picked a peer, picked a 
content item, and clicked okay.  The <input> got a HTML File object 
that worked just as it does on the desktop.  Nice!

Then I tried to run the app in the HTML5 launcher, and unfortunately it 
broke.  Now when I trigger the input, I get a message in the app 
output: "Content requested a file picker, but the application hasn't 
provided one".  I have no idea if this is coming from the WebView, from 
the HTML5 launcher, or from a Content Hub service.  Is there any 
configuration I need to do to enable the Content Hub for the file 
input?  (I've done cargo-cult pasting of various json files into the 
app configuration, but I don't really understand what's going on here.) 
Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks,
Robert
